Chapter 29 She is a Schemer Kisa stopped in her tracks. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Gilbert narrowed his eyes and stared at her from behind. “He’s the one who made you sign that contract, isn’t he?” He could not think of anyone else, other than Jensen, who could be so capable

Kisa slowly turned around and looked at him expressionlessly. “Jensen and I have not been in contact for a long time. He didn’t make me sign the contract. As for who it was, why should I tell you?”

Actually, even kisa had no idea about the identity of that mysterious person who made her sign the contract. But even if she knew the person, she would not tell Gilbert. After all, that mysterious person was the benefactor who saved her life, while Gilbert was the enemy who killed her. There was no reason for her to tell her enemy the information of her benefactor.

She looked at Gilbert’s darkened face and sneered. “Speaking of which, the contract is between Ariella and me. Why are you checking on it?”

“If I don’t check it out, how can I prevent those unseen evil tactics of yours? After all, 1 checked too little on your background back then.”

“Heh!” Kisa sounded like she had heard a joke. “Was that even necessary? From the time we first met, you’ve already seen me as someone evil, haven’t you?”

Gilbert did not respond, but an image that he still brooded over flashed through his mind, That day, Kisa and Jensen were standing under a tree, and Jensen asked her, “Why are you always trying to please Gilbert? Do you like him?”

“No. But I have my reason to please him.”

“What reason? To marry him and become the wife of GK’s CEO?”

“I’m not going to tell you.” From that moment, Gilbert perceived that Kisa was not as innocent as she appeared. He saw her as a schemer who was full of lies, good at disguise, and flattery. He believed that his grandmother had fallen prey to her after being deceived by her looks. If he could turn back the time, he would never get into a relationship with a wicked woman like her.

Kisa rushed over and arrived at the set before seven o’clock. Ariella was surrounded by some staff members attending to her needs. Kisa kneaded her painful forehead and quickly reported to Ariella. Suddenly, Ariella threw a glass of water at her face uncereinoniously.

“Yo, you’re still alive, huh? You went missing for so long that I thought you were dead, and I was thinking of how to celebrate.”

Kisa wiped the water stains on her face. Luckily, it was not hot water, and thanks to the cold water, her mind was clearer.

“It was my fault for missing work. You can deduct my salary, Ariella. I won’t do it next time,”

she said sincerely It just so happened that Ariella had a scene to shoot. She kicked Kisa in the calf and said with disgust, “Get lost. I’m sick of seeing you.” Kisa stumbled a few steps and nearly fell, but Howard helped her up, fortunately. Howard pulled her to a corner and looked at her with concern. “Raine, are you all right?” Kisa was stunned for a moment and shook her head in panic. “I’m fine. Thank you again this time.”

Gilbert had been pestering her with his grim calls for her name, Kisa, making her forget about her current alias: Raine.

Howard glanced at her soaked collar and hurriedly took his coat off to cover her body. Kisa was startled and quickly waved her hand to decline. “No, no, I’m not cold.”

“Put it on. Don’t get sick on such a chilly day. Besides, I have a scene that will start shooting soon, and I can’t wear it.”

“But-”

As Kisa still had something to say, Howard was already running to the director. She frowned and stared at the coat draping on her, feeling weird and puzzled why Howard was nice to her. “Hey, see that? I told you that Howard has a relationship with this woman, and you didn’t believe me.”

“No one would believe it, okay? After all, Howard is at least a handsome young man, but look at how ugly this woman is. Who would have thought of them being together?” “You better believe it. Some people have weird tastes in women. Howard must be one of them.” “Come on, what’s the point of talking about them? I heard from Sharon’s assistant that Mr. Kooper is coming to visit Sharon again later.” “If Mr. Kooper is coming again, I will have to impress him. Who knows, I might be as lucky as Ariella was?”

Kisa was annoyed at hearing them talking about Gilbert. ‘Why does that man has to be everywhere?’

At lunchtime, Kisa looked for a quiet corner, hoping not to run into Gilbert. She sat down against the wall and then closed her eyes for a moment to catch her breath. Kisa had been feeling procey all day today and just wished she could call it a day early this afternoon. She opened her lunchbox, and before she could take a bite, someone suddenly shouted in her direction
